Earlier this month, oil rig workers rescued a stranded dog from the water as they worked 136 miles from shore in the Gulf of Thailand.
The workers noticed the dog swimming in the ocean and lured him toward the rig, where he latched onto a pole. Then they lowered a rope to the dog and pulled him to safety.
Once he was dried off, the dog received a warm welcome, and stayed on the rig for the next two nights. He was fed well by the crew, who named him Boonrod — which means “the dog rescued by merit.”
Boonrod was transferred to another vessel and taken to the mainland on April 14.
The workers think Boonrod may have fallen from a boat, but nobody knows how he ended up so far from shore.
One of the workers plans to adopt Boonrod later this month, when he returns to the mainland.
Watch this video to see Boonrod being rescued and welcomed aboard.
What’s New…

You all are amazing & TRULY GENTLEMEN.!! This act of Kindness shows that your hearts are soft & kind. Thank you for rescuing this beautiful Pooch…
YOU GUYS ON OIL RIG ARE WONDERFUL EXAMPLES OF GREAT MEN OF HONOR👑

All of you are very brave and heroic rescuers. Thank you so much for your compassion and care for Boonrod. And many thanks to the worker who wants to adopt him. Thailand is somewhat of a scary place for a dog or cat because of the evils of some that kill and eat them. I pray God will protect Boonrod and as many other animals as possible from those who prey upon them.
Thank you for helping and adopting this beautiful dog, Boonrod.
Boonrod – a perfect name for a very lucky doggie.
Thank you to the wonderful men who rescued this pup!
How did he get so far from shore? If he fell off a boat no one rescued him?? Glad the oil rig people did.
So glad he was rescued..BUT..please don’t let him be adopted by someone who lives in Thailand. Come on..everyone knows what goes on there..smh. Ruined the ending..
Diese Bastarte von Menschen haben kein Recht auf Leben darum sage ich Todesstrafe für euch Menschen
